  1. It all comes out in the wash. Their true colours shining through now that they can stand behind the bully in chief. This is the problem with the patriarchy. It’s insidious, and bred from such an early age. It’s 2025. I’m depressed to spend another decade arguing against this shit that has been regurgitated for generations.
  2. What areas has Madonna had houses in over the years?
  3. Money has always been in control. It’s just more out in the open now as more billionaires are narcissists who can flaunt on (or own) social media. The conglomerates and wealthy individuals who donate (to both parties) killed any chance of meaningful change in American political discourse years ago.
  4. Yes, what is the difference between his behaviour and Putin’s, deciding and speaking on behalf of countries they think is there’s? And also that inherently American establishment attitude of writing a cheque for whatever they want. I hope his supporters who voted for cheaper groceries are enjoying their weekly shop.
  5. That’s Snowden, but why not pardon him too? They’ve served sentences in the form of exile. And it would at least cushion the fallout from Hunter’s pardon. Obama pardoned Chelsea Manning in his final term.
  6. This will be warped by the Republicans, even though Trump pardons his cronies. I hope Biden can also do Assange which is overdue.
  7. I wouldn’t call the Guardian extreme. Theyve always been an openly left wing paper. And also hold left wing parties to account. If people start thinking the Guardian is extreme then that means the propaganda from the global right is working.
  8. I feel exactly the same. In a way the need to experience what these type of actions do to perhaps learn. Unfortunately because it’s such horrid actions to begin with it affects us all. It’s a lose lose situation.
  9. It’s crazy. So many people havent bothered with their history books.
  10. Yeah I was disgusted when Democrat supporters on TV were like ‘she’s raised so much money’. For what? To piss up the wall with?! That money could have helped so many people/communities in need. As an outsider, the money in US politics is hyper capitalism and a structural problem that needs to be addressed. I spoke to an American recently about this. I think the topic has been so warped that people just don’t get it. She was outraged her taxes could be used by other people for healthcare, and disliked how her father’s business had to provide health cover. I tried to explain that access to universal healthcare actually means people can work more but she wasn’t drawing the links.
  11. I think there’s been a misunderstanding. I didn’t say Islam but I’ll clarify it’s the way I feel about any religion, they all serve the same purpose in my opinion. I certainly didn’t mean muslims, so I’ll be clearer next time as I’d hate for my words to be misconstrued to sound as such. M says it better than me:
  12. The thing is, the right wins when the left move centre. It’s part of their MO. Once the goal post is moved to a new ‘centre’, the right just lurch more rabid until things it repeats. And they’ve played the successful long game since thatcher/reagan. Also, another issue is this ridiculous mindset that we can only have two major parties.
  13. I find this theory interesting. I don’t live in the US but a tv channel in my country said something similar. I don’t understand it because to me the democrats are a centrist party, if not centre right. The disinformation about left wing politics and institutions in that country is crazy. My heart really goes out to the intelligent and compassionate people who are genuinely working hard for progressive policies which benefit a lot of the hardcore MAGA base. Sadly, they’ve drank the cool aid and are lost to the Trump cult, and will drag everyone down with them.
